I'll tell ya what. Back in '04, when the Sox were down to the MFY's 3-0 after just having gotten their derrier's handed to them in a lopsided loss in game three, I was right there for the start of game 4.

If you're a real fan, you stay until the last pitch of the last game.This, "I'm outta here" baloney is for quitters.While I disgaree with a few things on this team, you don't leave because things aren't going your way."Quitters never win and winners never quit."

It amazes me the way that people react to a brief skid. This is a really good team, they have issues, but so does everyone else. The only favorite is the Phillies, I see the rest of the playoff teams as pretty close. I agree with the poster above - Yanks-Sox ALCS. It will be a good one. Can't wait.

I predicted 96 to 98 wins in the dog days of April and I'm sticking with that pick now. That will be more than enough to make the playoffs. And while I hope the Sox win the Division, I'll never be disappointed in a Red Sox team that wins 95-plus games. I remember too well the mediocrity of the early '80s and early '90s.

Are you kidding?! After 65 years of rooting for the "Olde Towne" team, the thought of "abandoning" them never entered my mind....not during the bad times and, certainly not now during the good times. Any of you even considering it, turn in your "Hanging Sox" and move to the Bronx.

LOL... I guess many posters haven't really been watching over the years but this is what being a Sox Fan is all about !! Great Expectations at the start, so so beginning followed by a string of good fortune and a Rise to the top, Mix in a Ho Hum Augest and September Then Follow all that up by getting into the playoffs and hope for that lightning in a bottle to carry you over. Been a Fan since 67 and will die a Red Sox fan. Welcome to the Pain many of us have experienced for quite a while now !!
